Yes, I even know how it affects inflight snacks, but I'm not sharing the info.

If you are American the deal breaker is probably the 2 weeks you have to stay in quarantine in Canada before your flight - or somewhere in Europe if you fly in from there. That makes the insurance cost look trivial. So a two week trip is not an option as your first two weeks are in a hotel somewhere, in quarantine, and being monitored by friendly border services agents. Then you get your test (if that is available), get a positive result, get on the plane with insurance policy in place. And do your time in Costa Rica.

It would be easier and cheaper to import a Tica who already has a visa, when return her in two weeks via a repatriation flight.

Bring the beach to the sand.

I don't think anyone with a positive result will be allowed to get on a plane.

True, that. I meant negative test result, which is a positive thing.

I'm thinking of a half way trip and meet up in Puerto Vallarta.

PV is gorgeous.. and safe if you take precautions..Enjoy!

We stay up in Nuevo Vallarta and taxi into town. Always had a great time and only once did we get into some trouble and that was about 25 years ago. 3 guys tried to jump us, and it did not go well for them. My friend I was with was a 5th-degree black belt and I was a green belt at the time. I did not do a whole hell of a lot but when we walked away all three were knocked out. The one guy that pulled the knife lost a few teeth as my friend jammed the butt of the knife thru his teeth and into his mouth and left him there on the ground. A knee was blown out and I caused a compound fracture to the easy one's forearm. If there was cell phone video at the time it would have gone viral for sure, and we would have needed to leave the country before their friends found us. Once the knife was pulled it was over in about 15 seconds. The few locals that were around and witnessed it all had their mouths open. We casually walked back to the malecon and got a taxi back to Nuevo. That was the only issue we have ever had in PV over at least 30 trips but we no longer walk at night in Old Town.

Looks like Iberia Airlines violated the guidelines on the first trip to Costa Rica from Spain yesterday
from QCostaRica
The ICT confirmed, however, that 13 of the passengers were able to board the flight without the COVID-19 test results and were tested upon arrival and an isolation order was issued for 24 hours to wait for the test results.
“This is exceptional. The fact is that, this time, to the passengers who had not complied with the insurance requirement or the PCR test, due to the short time they were alerted, we will apply exceptional measures for this flight and only this one,” said the ICT.

With the bureaucratic nightmare that Costa Rica has imposed, there's just not much incentive for a lot of tourists to come right now, even from the countries that Costa Rica is allowing visitors from. I know for a fact, many Canadians won't come. And as much as everyone likes to crap on the USA, there is no tourism industry without Americans going to Costa Rica. So, how long will the restrictions on Americans last? Even if the restriction ended today, I have no interest in going due to the crazy expensive insurance I'd be required to buy. No thank you.

They are commiting economic suicide with their rules. Right now stores are open for 10 days, then a 12 day shutdown, then reopen for 10? People are in a bad economic way here.

Effed up for sure. Wonder what it is like to get into Panama. Is Panama like Colombia now?

Seriously I have been thinking along these lines lately. But first need to clear out some time and try SA here in U.S and explore more into northern Mexico.
